HAND ORaANs.-A manufacturer OF hand
organs does business on the top floor OF q
dingy old house on Park Row, near Chat
ham square. "The price of an organ" said
he, depends upon its size and the number
of tunes it plays. 1t ranges all the way
from $50 to $500. Italians used to buy the
most of them, but they seem now to be
dropping out of the business and to have
taken to the pickaxe and shovel. Lame
and blind men are our best customers now
adays. We have quite number OF out-of-
town orders from them. We are also ship.
ping largely TO the West Indies. Hand or
gans are very popular down there. In Ha'
vana troops of young girls 90 about the
streets and dance to their accompaniment.
Very few hand organs are imported into
this country. The duty would be too heavy
for the average organ grinder. The Italians
do not pay rent for their instruments. They
buy them outright and pay solid cash. 1t
costs something to put new tune in an
organ. We cannot substitute one for an
other for less than So. That is the reason
you are still RECALLED with Sweet Violetss,
'Grandfather's Clock and all the other old
timers."-N. Y. Sun.

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions The old
est in the country, and It's usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofits existence. In
its columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroni-
cling of the history of what is going on in the
world has ever been its aim. It is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for OBJ
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital. Situated as ii is SO close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part ofthe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpred that day in
every portion of our own domain as well rs
from every part of the habitabe globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers.
Another feature that serves TO make the
GAZETTE great dcsiderafum with mer
chants s its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes fnIl and
complete history of everything that occurs
n and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington, Rich
mond and every section of theState, is pub
lished regularly, and ali events of interes,
occurring within the bounds of tho Com
monwealth are TO 10 found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The GAzETTE's circulation is steadily in
oreasing, especially among people who con-
suit its advertising columns before purchas-
ing. That this is self-evident may be infer
red from the fact that large country ed-
tion-nearly as large as the daily--is sent
all over this section of country three times
a week, and is read by thousands, most OF
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages of ad.
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore, APP
darent.

The conviction. fning, and Imprisonment of the
author or certain scurril0us postal cards sent 10
citizen OF Albany lately were well-mer1ted rebuke
10 the meanest habit OF the meanest OF men. In
some parts Of the West the practice OF using cards
and envelopes with huge black-p printed inscrip-
tons for the collection OF debts from alleged dep
quents Is growing evil which will one day have
TO be checked BY the courts In summary fashion.
In careless oooEkeeper or q slovenly correspond.
ing clerk Is vested the authority to annoy at will
any one who does not respond at once to demand
for money. In cases which the newspapers have
noticed from time TO time no such money was die.
and because citizen has refused TO be bullied
INTO making good an accountants bad work. he Is
puolSne1 through tn mails a fraud At least
one tragedy has occurred as the result OF this spe
cies OF olackmail But the killing OF a baekmailer
here and there does not cripple the Industry half
50 surely as tho condemnation OF one to pay
heavy ne. ali the expenses Of his prosecution and
a handsome bonus 10 his victim, besides going to
the penitentary long enough TO meditate upon
his sins and shortcomings, and form his resolves
TO do better In future. One such warning makes
tina whole fraternity tremble
